Normally I make the recipe as directed the 1st time, then "tweak" it. But, this recipe is the start of my FAVORITE items on a menu of a local restaurant....BUT, they raised their prices and refuse to serve 1/2 orders for lunch!!! So, now I can make this great salad meal, for 1/4 the price (they charge $9.95 and it's mostly greens!) and I promise if you like the "added" ingrediants, you will become a FAN! Make as directed, whichever is easier for you on the chicken, just add some black beans (rinsed), mexicorn (drained), 1/2 of an avocado and some LIGHTLY crushed restaurant style corn tortilla chips. This all can be a bit heated or at room temp. Add a bit more BBQ sauce and I have never used the Ranch dressing that comes with it! I'm a SAUCE person!! So, that says something!! Hope you enjoy!! Thanks Kraft!!!!

My family loved this! We may make some changes and add more veggies but it was so good everyone had seconds!

I made this recipe for mine and my husband's 3rd year anniversary and he especially loved this salad, he thought this was a nice touch with the bbq'd chicken.

This recipe was quick and very tasty. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I started with leftover chicken. I will definitely make it again.

This salad is GOOD!!! We used freshly grilled chicken instead of the packaged kind. Then we mix the ranch dressing with the BBQ sauce and use it as our dressing. And throw in black beans and corn... Sometimes avocado!

I make a slightly different version. I grill boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips. I use Romaine lettuce with tomatoes, black olives, celery, grated Parmesan cheese and mix in some cooked rotini pasta. Top with Caesar dressing and croutans. This is probably our favorite summer dinner.

It was delicious. The ranch really cut the taste of the bbq sauce, we actually added a quarter cup of sour cream and it really made it better the second time. Very nice refreshing salad and not too heavy at all. Great for summer, or actually any time. Make them extra big adn make it a complete meal with Kraft Crackers.
